Add a list of tables

Add a list of tables in an officer document. crosstables will be added using body_add_crosstable() and flextables will be added using flextable::body_add_flextable(). Plain dataframes will be converted to flextables.

Usage

body_add_table_list(
  doc,
  l,
  fun_before = "title2",
  fun_after = NULL,
  fun = fun_before,
  ...
)

body_add_flextable_list(...)

body_add_crosstable_list(...)

Arguments

doc

a rdocx object, created by officer::read_docx()

l

a named list of tables (of class crosstable, flextable, or data.frame).

fun_before

a function to be used before each table

fun_after

a function to be used after each table.

fun

Deprecated

...

arguments passed on to body_add_crosstable() or body_add_flextable()

Value

The docx object doc

fun_before and fun_after

These should be function of the form function(doc, .name) where .name is the name of the current table of the list. You can also pass "title2" to add the name as a title of level 2 between each table (works for levels 3 and 4 as well), "newline" to simply add a new line, or even NULL to not separate them (beware that the tables might merge then). fun_before is designed to add a title while fun_after is designed to add a table legend (cf. examples).

Examples

library(officer)
ctl = list(iris2=crosstable(iris2, 1),
           "Just a flextable"=flextable::flextable(mtcars2[1:5,1:5]),
           "Just a dataframe"=iris2[1:5,1:5])

fun1 = function(doc, .name){
    doc %>%
        body_add_title(" This is table '{.name}' as a flex/crosstable", level=2) %>%
        body_add_normal("Here is the table:")
}
fun2 = function(doc, .name){
  doc %>% body_add_table_legend("{.name}", bookmark=.name)
}
read_docx() %>%
  body_add_title("Separated by subtitle", 1) %>%
  body_add_table_list(ctl, fun_before="title2") %>%
  body_add_break() %>%
  body_add_title("Separated using a custom function", 1) %>%
  body_add_normal("You can therefore use bookmarks, for instance here are
                   tables \\@ref(iris2), \\@ref(just_a_flextable)
                   and \\@ref(just_a_dataframe).") %>%
  body_add_table_list(ctl, fun_before=fun1, fun_after=fun2, body_fontsize=8) %>%
  write_and_open()
